I looked at this thread https://mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=327313 (Epubs loaded to Kobo missing small bits of text) which looked similar but it hasn't helped.

I tried running Calibre Editor to automatically fix ePub errors, no difference.

I tried ePub -> ePub conversion, no difference.

In that thread an "ornamental-break" seemed to be implicated but I can't see one anywhere near the area that I'm having issues.

Can anyone suggest any further measures or ways of tracking down the issue?

TIA.
What is the code immediately prior to the missing text on your Kobo? I have seen issues with some epub creation tools when creating epub3s and using a <hr> for the scene break where a Kobo ereader using the RMSDK epub2 renderer will lose chunks of text. Sending it as a kepub.epub to use the epub3 renderer is a quick workaround for testing if that is the issue.

If the book is not copyrighted, you can attach it to a message here for people to take a look at. If it is copyrighted, use the ScrambleEbook plugin and then attach the scrambled output file to a message here. That way, the entire CSS can be seen as it applies to the area of missing text.
